Essendon meet Preston at Windy Hill in their second broadcast game of the year, in what poses to be very important for the men in Blue. Each team are likely to add a state league midfielder to their ranks this week, SOS electing to take the WAFL's Josh Deluca and his mate Dodododoro taking Will Snelling from the SANFL. As far as form goes, Essendon have lost two of their last 5 games, same with Preston. Essendon have won 4 of the last 5 encounters between the two clubs.
Essendon are coming off a tight loss at the hands of ladder leaders and flag favourites Richmond, going down by 3 points. Dylan Clarke was best afield for the Dons with 26 disposals in a good combination with David Myers, who had 25, whilst small forward Irving Mosquito lit up the turf with a couple of scintillating runs and 2 goals playing as a small forward.
Preston had a disappointing 11 point loss to mid table Sandringham, only kicking 3 goals in the second half after a strong start to the game. Former Swan Sam Fisher was impressive with 26 touches, whilst young key forward Patrick Kerr kicked 3 goals to go along with his 6 the previous week.
Essendon by 33. Possible side:
Gleeson - Hartley - Dea
Ridley - Zerk-Thatcher - McNiece
Jok - L McKenna - Zaharakis
Houlahan - Brown - Mosquito
Younan - Gown - Baguley
Z Clarke - Snelling - Heppell
Hocking - Tynan - Connellan - Aylett (inj?)
Goetz - Berry - Landt - McQueen
23p: Bowman
